PC RES 2001-046P.0 RESOLUTION NO. 2001-46 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES APPROVING THE REQUEST FOR COASTAL PERMIT NO. 170/172 AND GRADING PERMIT NO 2260/2281 FOR A NEW, 10 -FOOT - TALL, SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE, DETACHED GARAGE, STUDIO, DETACHED GUEST HOUSE AND SWIMMING POOL, TOTALING 15,425 SQUARE FEET OF HABITABLE AND NON -HABITABLE ENCLOSED AREA, AND THE REALIGNMENT OF A PORTION OF YACHT HARBOR DRIVE ON AN 18 88 -ACRE SITE IN THE PORTUGUESE BEND CLUB COMMUNITY, LOCATED AT 2 YACHT HARBOR DRIVE WHEREAS, on January 19, 2001, the applicant, Eric Johnson, submitted applications for Coastal Permit No 170 and Grading Permit No 2260 to allow the construction of a new, single-family residential compound on an 18 88 -acre bluff -top lot in the Portuguese Bend Club community; and, WHEREAS, on May 3, 2001, the applicant also submitted applications for Coastal Permit No 172 and Grading Permit No 2281 to allow the realignment of a portion of Yacht Harbor Drive across the subject property, and, WHEREAS, on August 27, 2001, the applications for Coastal Permit No 170 and Grading Permit No 2260 and Coastal Permit No 172 and Grading Permit No 2281 were deemed complete by Staff; and shall henceforth be referred to collectively as Coastal Permit No 170/172 and Grading Permit No 2260/2281, and, WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, Public Resources Code Sections 21000 et. seq ("CEQA"), the State's CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000 et seq , the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, and Government Code Section 65962 5(f) (Hazardous Waste and Substances Statement), Staff found no evidence that Coastal Permit No 170/172 and Grading Permit No 2260/2281 would have a significant effect on the environment and, therefore, the proposed project has been found to be categorically exempt (Class 3, Section 15303(a)), and, WHEREAS, after notice issued pursuant to the requirements of the Rancho Palos Verdes Development Code, the Planning Commission held a duly -noticed public hearing on October 9, 2001, October 23, 2001 and November 27, 2001, at which time all interested parties were given an opportunity to be heard and present evidence NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNING COMMISSION DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS Section 1: The Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact with respect to the applications for Coastal Permit No. 170/172 and Grading Permit No 2260/2281 for the proposed single-family residence and accessory structures A. The proposed development is consistent with the Coastal Specific Plan because the development of a single-family residence and accessory structures is consistent with the Coastal Specific Plan land use designation for the portion of the subject property proposed for development, which is Residential 4-6 DU/acre. The 3 88 -acre "buildable" area of the site is located landward of the coastal setback line and outside of the landslide moratorium area While the discussion of socio -cultural resources in Subregion 6 of the Coastal Specific Plan notes the possibility of archaeological resources extant on the site, previous surveys have revealed no sensitive resources The subject property is not located with a specific visual corridor identified in the Coastal Specific Plan. The proposed residence would encroach into the 2 -degree down -arc zone discussed in the Coastal Specific Plan, but in this case the proposed structure complies with the 16 -foot height limit. Views for motorists, bicyclists or pedestrians on Palos Verdes Drive South will not be significantly impaired by the proposed project. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed protect is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Coastal Specific Plan. B. The proposed development, when located between the sea and the first public road, is consistent with applicable public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act. Section 30211 of the Coastal Act states that "[development] shall not interfere with the public's right of access to the sea where acquired through use or legislative authorization " The Portuguese Bend Club is a private community that provides coastal access to its residents, members and their guests, but since no general public access currently exists, the proposed project will have no impact upon the public's existing right of access Although the proposed project meets the definition of "new development" as specified in 30212(b) of the Coastal Act, the Planning Commission finds that the project should not be required to provide public access from Palos Verdes Drive South to the shoreline because there exists adequate public access nearby at the Ocean Tralls project to the east and the City's Abalone Cove Beach Park to the west The Portuguese Bend Club also provides recreational amenities such as a sandy beach, picnic areas and game courts for its residents, members and guests. The proposed project will have no impact upon these existing recreational facilities. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed project is consistent with the applicable public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act C The grading does not exceed that which is necessary for the permitted primary use of the lot, as defined in Section 17 96.2210 of the Development Code The proposed project encompasses 20,700 cubic yards of remedial grading and 25,160 cubic yards of non -remedial grading. Of the non -remedial grading, most is within P C Resolution No. 2001-46 Page 2 of 14 the building footprint Although these are significant quantities of earth movement, the size of the proposed house is quite large while the quantity of material to be exported from the site is relatively small (7,888 cubic yards) All of the proposed grading will occur within the 3 88 -acre "buildable" area of the site that is located landward of the coastal setback line and outside of the landslide moratorium area. D The grading and/or related construction does not significantly adversely affect the visual relationships with, nor the views from, neighboring properties The proposed residence is consistent with the 16 -foot height limit for downslope lots. The highest portions of the roof of the structure will not exceed an elevation of 228.0'—six feet (6) below the maximum allowable elevation—and many portions of the house will be much lower. The proposed 228 0' maximum ridgeline is approximately one to three feet above the curb of eastbound Palos Verdes Drive South, and is located two to three hundred feet away, while the pad elevations of all of the homes across Palos Verdes Drive South in the Seaview community are higher than the 228.0' elevation. The proposed grading of the site allows the house to be set back into the slope rather than projecting above it, and the varied roof planes of the house provide for views over the structure E The nature of the grading minimizes disturbance to the natural contours, and finished contours are reasonably natural because the site is generally flat, with an average slope of less than ten percent (10%), and will retain this generally flat profile upon completion of the proposed grading F The grading takes into account the preservation of natural topographic features and appearances by means of land sculpting so as to blend any man-made or manufactured slope into the natural topography. The raised plateau on the west end of the site along Palos Verdes Drive South is the most prominent topographic feature of the site, but most of this plateau is located within the landslide moratorium area and will not be altered. G For new single-family residences, the grading and/or related construction is compatible with the immediate neighborhood character, as defined in Section 17.02.040(A)(6) of the Development Code. The components of neighborhood character include front -yard setbacks, architectural styles and materials, and the scale of surrounding residences The proposed residence significantly exceeds the minimum 20 -foot front setback from the realigned Yacht Harbor Drive By comparison, most homes in the Portuguese Bend Club do not meet the 20 -foot front -yard setback due to their very small lot sizes, while most homes in Seaview comply with the required 20 -foot setback With respect to architectural style and materials, the proposed project incorporates a very contemporary design, with extensive use of glass, concrete, Palos Verdes stone veneer and metal roofing. Many of the recently -remodeled homes in the Portuguese Bend Club community have incorporated contemporary design features that depart from the beach cottage P C Resolution No 2001-46 Page 3 of 14 architecture that predominated when these homes were first built. In addition, the proposed residence is set significantly apart from these surrounding homes by virtue of the large site and is not seen "in context" with the other Portuguese Bend Club homes With respect to the Seaview community, which has largely retained the characteristic features of late -50's ranch -style tract homes, the proposed house is located at least 250 feet away from the nearest homes on Palos Verdes Drive South, which in this area is a 130 -foot -wide divided roadway and frontage street with two landscaped medians As such, the architecture of the proposed house is not seen indirect context with that of the Seaview homes Finally, the overall size of the proposed residence is clearly much larger than the ten nearest homes in the Portuguese Bend Club and Seaview communities However, considering the significantly larger lot size—even exclusive of the non -buildable areas of the site— the scale of the proposed house in proportion to its lot is about the same as in the surrounding neighborhoods A significant portion of the proposed house is subterranean, and the portions above ground are broken into smaller units that are more comparable in size to surrounding residences, particularly the guest house and studio The larger main house is set back into the slope of the lot so that the two- story facade is presented to the bluff and not to the homes behind and across Palos Verdes Drive South In addition, the proposed house is set well apart from the nearest homes so that the mass of the structure is not seen in direct context with these other homes H The required finding that in new residential tracts, the grading includes provisions for the preservation and introduction of plant materials so as to protect slopes from soil erosion and slippage, and minimize visual effects of grading and construction on hillside areas, is not applicable to the proposed project. The required finding that the grading utilizes street designs and improvements which serve to minimize grading alternatives and harmonize with the natural contours and character of the hillside is not applicable to the proposed project. J The required finding that the grading would not cause excessive and unnecessary disturbance of natural landscape or wildlife habitat through removal of vegetation is not applicable to the proposed project. K. The grading conforms with the minimum standards for finished slope, depth of cut and/or fill, retaining wall location and height, and driveway slope established under Section 17 76 040(E)(9) of the Development Code Section 2. The Planning Commission makes the following findings of fact with respect to the applications for Coastal Permit No 170/172 and Grading Permit No 2260/2281 for the proposed realignment of a portion of Yacht Harbor Drive P C Resolution No 2001-46 Page 4 of 14 A. The proposed development is consistent with the Coastal Specific Plan because the development of a private street right-of-way is consistent with the Coastal Specific Plan land use designation for the portion of the subject property proposed for development, which is Residential 4-6 DU/acre The realignment of Yacht Harbor Drive will also include the realignment of related infrastructure easements and improvements to existing drainage facilities that traverse the site This is consistent with Coastal Specific Plan Policy No 4 for Subregion 6, which calls upon the City to "[ensure] that flood control improvements within Subregion 6 are carried out in a manner that is consistent with applicable General Plan and Coastal Specific Plan policies regarding preservation of natural habitat, visual character and flood control." While the discussion of socio -cultural resources in Subregion 6 of the Coastal Specific Plan notes the possibility of archaeological resources extant on the site, previous surveys have revealed no sensitive resources Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed protect is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Coastal Specific Plan B. The proposed development, when located between the sea and the first public road, is consistent with applicable public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act Section 30211 of the Coastal Act states that "[development] shall not interfere with the public's right of access to the sea where acquired through use or legislative authorization " The Portuguese Bend Club is a private community that provides coastal access to its residents, members and their guests, but since no general public access currently exists, the proposed project will have no impact upon the public's existing right of access. Although the proposed project meets the definition of "new development" as specified in 30212(b) of the Coastal Act, the Planning Commission finds that the project should not be required to provide public access from Palos Verdes Drive South to the shoreline because there exists adequate public access nearby at the Ocean Trails project to the east and the City's Abalone Cove Beach Park to the west The Portuguese Bend Club also provides recreational amenities such as a sandy beach, picnic areas and game courts for its residents, members and guests The proposed project will have no impact upon these existing recreational facilities. Therefore, the Planning Commission finds that the proposed project is consistent with the applicable public access and recreation policies of the Coastal Act C. The grading does not exceed that which is necessary for the permitted primary use of the lot, as defined in Section 17 96 2210 of the Development Code. The proposed road realignment encompasses 9,600 cubic yards of grading. All of the proposed grading will occur within the 3 88 -acre "buildable" area of the site that is located landward of the coastal setback line and outside of the landslide moratorium area D. The grading and/or related construction does not significantly adversely affect the visual relationships with, nor the views from, neighboring properties The P.C. Resolution No 2001-46 Page 5 of 14 0 0 realignment of Yacht Harbor Drive establishes an elevation of 218.0' above mean sea level (MSL) as the benchmark for the height of the proposed downslope residence However, it is important to note that if Yacht Harbor Drive were not realigned, the property would be an upslope lot from the existing street right-of-way The 16 -foot height limit would still be measured from the high (i.e., inland) side of the lot and structure, so the difference in the maximum allowable ridgeline elevation would be minimal, and it could be even higher than currently proposed with the road realignment. E. The nature of the grading minimizes disturbance to the natural contours, and finished contours are reasonably natural because the site is generally flat, with an average slope of less than ten percent (10%), and will retain this generally flat profile upon completion of the proposed grading. F The grading takes into account the preservation of natural topographic features and appearances by means of land sculpting so as to blend any man-made or manufactured slope into the natural topography. The raised plateau on the west end of the site along Palos Verdes Drive South is the most prominent topographic feature of the site, but most of this plateau is located within the landslide moratorium area and will not be altered. G. The required finding that, for new single-family residences, the grading and/or related construction is compatible with the immediate neighborhood character, as defined in Section 17.02.040(A)(6) of the Development Code, is not applicable to the realignment of Yacht Harbor Drive H. The required finding that in new residential tracts, the grading includes provisions for the preservation and introduction of plant materials so as to protect slopes from soil erosion and slippage, and minimize visual effects of grading and construction on hillside areas, is not applicable to the proposed project The grading utilizes street designs and improvements which serve to minimize grading alternatives and harmonize with the natural contours and character of the hillside The proposed project involves the realignment of Yacht Harbor Drive, but the site is not located in a hillside area. Nonetheless, the grading for the private street comprises a fairly small portion of the overall grading proposed. The realigned street will be approximately ten feet (10') lower than Palos Verdes Drive West for the portions where the two streets run parallel to one another. J. The required finding that the grading would not cause excessive and unnecessary disturbance of natural landscape or wildlife habitat through removal of vegetation is not applicable to the proposed project P C Resolution No 2001-46 Page 6 of 14 • K.
